SPR
Preconference #1 Workshop
“Underlying
Mechanisms in Liability
for Dysregulatory Behaviors
(held May
29, 2007, Washington, DC)
Presenters:
Diana
Fishbein, RTI International,
Michael
Vanyukov, University of
Pittsburgh, Jenae
Neiderhiser, George Washington
University, Leslie
Leve, Oregon Social Learning
Center, Joan
Kaufman, Yale University,
Sara
Jaffee, University of Pennsylvania,
Ken
Dodge, Duke University,
Elizabeth Ginexi, NIDA,
Erik Auguston, NCI, Lisa
Freund, NICHD, and Marcia
Scott, NIAAA.
This
one day workshop will clarify
how genetic and environmental
factors operate together
and to discuss the relevance
of this to prevention research.
Areas covered will be genetic
influences (both molecular
and quantitative) on relevant
behaviors (endophenotypes),
interplay of genes and the
environment through correlation
and interaction, changes
in gene expression as a
result of changes in the
environment and vice versa,
etc. The presentations will
be focused on describing
the methods and interpretation
of findings in each area
and not on presenting new
research. Attendees should
expect to actively participate
throughout the day with
the objective of having
a better understanding of
how to interpret and potentially
use findings in these areas
in their own.

SPR
Preconference #2 Workshop
Analysis of Prevention
Intervention Data Using
Mixture Modeling in MPLUS
(held May 29, 2007, Washington,
DC)
Presenter: Bengt
Muthén, UCLA
This one day workshop discusses
methods for analyzing longitudinal
data from preventive interventions.
Such studies raise questions
of how to analyze: individual
differences in growth over
time; non-normal outcomes
for rare behaviors; intervention
effects on trajectories
over time; for whom an intervention
is effective; selective
drop-out; intervention effects
in the presence of non-compliance,
the multilevel nature of
an intervention; the power
to detect intervention effect.

SPR
Preconference #4 Workshop
(held May 29, 2007, Washington,
DC)
USING
TESTED PROGRAMS IN THE REAL
WORLD—STRATEGIES AND
TOOLS TO PROMOTE IMPLEMENTATION
FIDELITY
Presenters:
Sharon Mihalic, Center for
the Study and Prevention
Research, University of
Colorado, Abigail Fagan,
Social Development Research
Group, University of Washington,
William Hansen, Tanglewood
Research.
This
workshop is designed to
build knowledge, skills
and tools for moving tested
and effective programs to
real world application while
replicating their original
study design. The workshop
targets program developers
and prevention researchers,
with the goals of ensuring
that participants will:
(1) Understand the importance
of achieving implementation
fidelity of tested programs;
(2) Agree upon common elements
of implementation fidelity
and discuss ways of measuring
these elements; (3) Discuss
the pros and cons of when
and how to adapt programs
to the local situation;
(4) Identify general models,
tools and strategies that
promote implementation fidelity;
(5) Share their own tools
for promoting implementation
fidelity of specific programs
and strategies for overcoming
replication challenges.
